Question

Meena is 8 years old and her grandfather is 96 years old. How many times is Meena's grandfather older than Meena?

• A. 13
• B. 14
• C. 12
• D. 11

Answer 1

The correct option is C 12

Meena's age = 8 years
Meena's grandfather's age = 96 years
We need to find how many times is Meena's grandfather older than Meena.
To find this, we need to calculate the value of 96÷8.
$$\begin{array}{c}12\\ 896\\ -\underset{–}{8}2\\ 16\\ -\underset{–}{16}\\ 0\end{array}$$Therefore, Meena's grandfather is 12 times older than Meena.
